Yeah there are, but honestly I'd rather do as much of it as I can myself. My brother in law is probably planning out the worst of it already in his head.
They've moved themselves across the country twice, so he's no slouch in that department.
Closing is set for April 16 and I will not give notice on my apartment til then, which means I will actually have until the end of May to vacate - paying that extra month's rent and utilities here will not be a problem, I'd always figured that into my costs anyway.
The condo is only about 15 minutes away, and work is right in between on the road from here to there and back. So I can take smaller non-essential stuff in the car and drop it off there after work every day if necessary, really we'll only need to rent a truck for furniture that's too big to transport any other way and that will be a one day job.
It's also not uncommon for the husbands of some of the ladies I work with to show up en masse and help move their wives' coworkers across town. They did it for my best friend twice, lol. I honestly don't think we'll need that much help but if anybody offers I certainly won't turn it down.
Also: the idea of total strangers packing and unpacking my stuff gives me the heebie jeebies.
